Airbyte is on a mission to make data integration pipelines a commodity.
|
||
|
||
* **Maintenance-free connectors you can use in minutes**. Just authenticate your sources and warehouse, and get connectors that adapt to schema and API changes for you.
|
||
* **Building new connectors made trivial.** We make it very easy to add new connectors that you need, using the language of your choice, by offering scheduling and orchestration.
|
||
* Designed to **cover the long tail of connectors and needs**. Benefit from the community's battle-tested connectors and adapt them to your specific needs.
|
||
* **Your data stays in your cloud**. Have full control over your data, and the costs of your data transfers.
|
||
* **No more security compliance process** to go through as Airbyte is self-hosted.
|
||
* **No more pricing indexed on volume**, as cloud-based solutions offer.
|
||
|
||
Here's a list of our [connectors with their health status](docs/integrations/).

## Features
|
||
|
||
* **Built for extensibility**: Adapt an existing connector to your needs or build a new one with ease.
|
||
* **Optional normalized schemas**: Entirely customizable, start with raw data or from some suggestion of normalized data.
|
||
* **Full-grade scheduler**: Automate your replications with the frequency you need.
|
||
* **Real-time monitoring**: We log all errors in full detail to help you understand.
|
||
* **Incremental updates**: Automated replications are based on incremental updates to reduce your data transfer costs.
|
||
* **Manual full refresh**: Sometimes, you need to re-sync all your data to start again.
|
||
* **Debugging autonomy**: Modify and debug pipelines as you see fit, without waiting.

## Contributing
|
||
|
||
We love contributions to Airbyte, big or small.
|
||
|
||
See our [Contributing guide](docs/contributing-to-airbyte/) on how to get started. Not sure where to start? We’ve listed some [good first issues](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/labels/good%20first%20issue) to start with. If you have any questions, please open a draft PR or visit our [slack channel](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/a9b1c6c0420550ad5069aca66c295223e0d05e27/slack.airbyte.io) where the core team can help answer your questions.
|
||
|
||
**Note that you are able to create connectors using the language you want, as Airbyte connections run as Docker containers.**
|
||
|
||
**Also, we will never ask you to maintain your connector. The goal is that the Airbyte team and the community helps maintain it, let's call it crowdsourced maintenance!**
